Currently the buffer benchmarks take significantly too long to
complete. This drastically reduces the overall runtime by removing
obsolete checked variations and reducing the iteration count.
It also improves the benchmarks by removing the deprecated
`new Buffer(size)` usage and some other small improvements.

Several changes:
* Soft-Deprecate Buffer() constructors
* Add `Buffer.from()`, `Buffer.alloc()`, and `Buffer.allocUnsafe()`
* Add `--zero-fill-buffers` command line option
* Add byteOffset and length to `new Buffer(arrayBuffer)` constructor
* buffer.fill('') previously had no effect, now zero-fills
* Update the docs

In order to comply with linting rules used in the rest of the code base,
eliminate redeclared variables. A conservative approach is used so as to
avoid unintentional performance issues (for example, as might be seen in
some situations when using `let` instead of `var`).

The benchmark runner spawns new processes for each configuration. The
specific configuration is transfered by process.argv. This means that
the values have to be parsed. As of right now only numbers and strings
are parsed correctly. However other values such as objects where used.
This fixes the benchmarks that used non-string/number values and
prevents future issues by asserting the type.

Break up Buffer#toString() into a fast and slow path. The fast path
optimizes for zero-length buffers and no-arg method invocation.
The speedup for zero-length buffers is a satisfying 700%. The no-arg
toString() operation gets faster by about 13% for a one-byte buffer.
This change exploits the fact that most Buffer#toString() calls are
plain no-arg method calls. Rewriting the method to take no arguments
means a call doesn't go through an ArgumentsAdaptorTrampoline stack
frame in the common case.
